A Distance Learning Course is the ideal way to gain a qualification without having the worry of trying to fit your studies around your everyday life. You can complete your studies in your own time and we are on hand seven days a week to help you plan your future.

Course Description

The Distance Learning Social and Political History Diploma course covers events from the Industrial Revolution to the Labour Party Victory in the 1990s. This is the journey of gender and class struggles, the Victorians and their attitudes towards society and crime. Social life, the economy, the way we worked, lived and socialised have all changed considerably. Learn how we used to treat those most vulnerable in society or how political pioneers were to bring about radical changes and reform.

This course explores British society all the way up to the present day and perfectly complements the Level 3 Sociology Diploma, providing a historical context to some of the key issues being debated today, such as - do we need an overhaul of the political system? Can the NHS cope with demand? Should people have to pay for an education? And does putting criminals in prison actually work? Knowledge of key events of the past helps us to gain a better knowledge of the present and how best to approach the future.

Our aim is to provide you with the best deal possible, therefore registration fee, certification fee and full tutor support is included in the course price for you.
